    COUNCIL 24 NOVEMBER 2016 ITEM NO. 7 (c) TEES VALLEY MAYORAL CONSTITUTION Responsible Cabinet Member – Councillor Bill Dixon, Leader Responsible Director - Ada Burns, Chief Executive SUMMARY REPORT Purpose of the Report 1. To advise Members of the procedure that will be followed for the making of the Order that sets out the powers of the Tees Valley Mayor. 2. The report provides details of the proposed revised Tees Valley Constitution (with amendments to make provision for the role of the Mayor) about which Members views are sought. Summary 3. On 23 October 2015 the historic Devolution Deal for the Tees Valley was signed by the five Tees Valley authorities. The Devolution Deal offered the establishment of a Tees Valley Combined Authority with devolved decision making powers for transport, economic development and regeneration, together with significant additional Government funding (£15m annually over 30 years). As part of the deal there was a requirement for a directly elected mayor. 4. On 1 April 2016 the new Tees Valley Combined Authority came into being. In July 2016 the Order establishing that elections for a mayor for the Tees Valley Combined Authority will take place on 4 May 2017, was laid before Parliament. In September 2016 the first tranche of funding of £15m was transferred to the Combined Authority as a flexible revenue grant directed to the Tees Valley’s priorities. 5. A further Order (The Tees Valley Combined Authority (Constitution) Order 2016) which sets out the powers of the Tees Valley Mayor, now needs to be laid before Parliament. The draft Order is set out at Appendix 1.

    Agenda item 9a Confidential Paper 7.7 South Tees Development Corporation 25 July 2018 The Proposed South Tees Development Corporation (Land at the former Redcar steel works, Redcar) Compulsory Purchase Order Purpose 1. A key priority and responsibility of the Corporation is to secure the comprehensive regeneration of the land within its area ("the Area"). Fundamental to achieving this objective is acquiring the necessary land interests within the Area. 2. As the Board is aware, the Corporation has already entered into discussions with landowners with a view to acquiring their land interests by private negotiation. However, mindful that such negotiations may take some time and may ultimately be unsuccessful, in February 2018 the Corporation made an in-principle resolution to make a compulsory purchase order ("CPO") to acquire any land interests compulsorily should it become necessary. 3. Since February, discussions with landowners have continued in tandem with preparation of the CPO. However, whilst discussions with some landowners are progressing well, it has not yet been possible to acquire the necessary land interests by agreement. Market interest in bringing forward development across the Area is high but the Corporation is concerned that delays in securing land assembly could lead to developers looking elsewhere for land which is more readily available. 4. This paper accordingly seeks authority for the Corporation to proceed to make the CPO and to refer the CPO to Tees Valley Combined Authority ("TVCA") for consent to submit the CPO, once made, to the Secretary of State for confirmation. The extent of the land proposed to be acquired pursuant to the CPO is indicatively shown edged red on the attached map at Appendix 1 ("the Site").

    Genuinely representing the Tees Valley Seizing the opportunity to write equality into the Constitution of the Tees Valley Combined Authority A Scrutiny Study Conducted by the Tees Valley Combined Authority Overview & Scrutiny Committee – August 2018- January 2019 1. Chair’s Executive Summary Women and minorities have historically been under-represented in public life. Whilst devolution deals offer a new way forward for public services, they have so far done nothing to make public bodies more representative of the communities they serve. In June of 2018 the Cabinet of the Tees Valley Combined Authority requested that the Overview and Scrutiny Committee carry out an in-depth scrutiny study into the diversity of its membership, struck by how appointments to its statutory and non-statutory committees were extraordinarily male-dominated and undeniably unrepresentative of our region’s population. Over the past year a working group of three councillors, supported by two officers, has taken evidence from the Mayor of the Tees Valley, the Leaders and Mayor of its constituent authorities, the Chair of the Local Enterprise Partnership, the Chief Executives and Managing Director of its constituent authorities, a survey of 78 local councillors and 7 individual members of the Local Enterprise Partnership and the Regional Secretary of the Trades Union Congress. The working group has also examined relevant academic research and studied best practice from other Combined and Local Authorities. Amid all this research, one particular quote stands out. “This is overdue. This is an issue I have flagged up again and again. Just look at the pictures of the signing of the devolution deal..

    Teesworks Heritage Taskforce Recommendations to the Tees

    Teesworks Heritage Taskforce Recommendations to the Tees Valley Mayor, Ben Houchen January 2021 1. Background The Teesworks Heritage Taskforce was established by Mayor Houchen in September 2020 to capture and celebrate the unique history of the former Redcar steelworks. The role of the Taskforce is to consult and explore ways to capture, record and recognise the cultural, economic and industrial heritage of the Teesworks site in Redcar which has been part of Teesside’s long and rich iron and steelmaking heritage. In addition to this, the Taskforce was asked to consider and make recommendations to Mayor Houchen as to how this heritage can make a meaningful contribution to the delivery of jobs and sustainable economic growth in the Tees Valley. The Taskforce is co-chaired by Redcar MP Jacob Young and Kate Willard OBE, who has a wealth of experience in heritage and arts. It is comprised of experts, including Tees steel industry veteran John Baker, Teesside steel historian Dr Tosh Warwick and a representative of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council. The Taskforce oversaw two main phases of consultation, both of which were broad based and encompassed representatives from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors along with local residents and stakeholders. The first phase consisted of an online form on the Teesworks website open to all members of the public to submit comments from 15 August 2020 to 10 November 2020, which was widely shared online. A second phase ran from 26 November 2020 to 9 December 2020 and was conducted by the Taskforce identifying a range of key stakeholders, a minority of whom were respondents to the first consultation as well, asking them to complete a detailed survey through the Survey Monkey platform.
